The Ritz by Terrence McNally

Presented by Unicorn Theatre at Unicorn Theatre Kansas City, MO

When Gaetano Proclo—a hapless, middle-aged, very married, very straight man—goes on the run from his mafioso brother-in-law, he hides in the last place anyone would think to look: The Ritz, a bustling gay bathhouse. Fast, fizzy, and unapologetically outrageous, The Ritz is a laugh-out-loud romp where the only thing dropping faster than the towels… is Gaetano’s cover.

Eureka Day

Presented by Kansas City Actors Theatre at City Stage Theatre at Union Station Kansas City, MO

Delightfully prescient and pointedly funny, Jonathan Spector’s 2025 Tony Award-winning Eureka Day comes to the City Stage in September! In this “…sharp satire of well-meaning but misguided liberalism” (New York Theatre Guide) a mumps outbreak has put the Board of Directors of the Eureka Day School on their backfoot, forced to reexamine their vaccination policy. Until now they have only made decisions through consensus, not majority, but now they must decide: is it possible to make a decision about vaccinations that will please everyone? “Eureka Day was already timely when it made its local debut off-Broadway in 2019. It is even more so now.” (Time Out New York)

The Kansas City Symphony Presents: Prometheus, The Poem of Fire

Presented by Kansas City Symphony at Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts Kansas City, MO

This extraordinary event is an exploration of outer worlds, inner space and the power of artistic creation. Curated by Music Director Matthias Pintscher and acclaimed production designer Luke Kritzeck, evocative music from three composers transports you on a multisensory journey. Luciano Berio’s Sequenza V pushes a solo trombone to its limits. Edgard Varèse’s Déserts was the first piece to incorporate recorded tape as part of the score and uses sounds to explore both physical deserts and those of the human spirit. Filmmaker Bill Viola’s 1994 avant-garde film of the same name, designed to express visually what Varèse expresses musically, will accompany the piece. Alexander Scriabin’s Prometheus: The Poem of Fire was composed for orchestra, with indications of light and color written into the score; Kritzeck’s innovative production design brings Scriabin’s vision to life using cutting-edge technology. It all comes together in a concert that shapes what you hear, what you see and what you feel. Featuring: Matthias Pintscher, music director and conductor George Li, piano Luke Kritzeck, production designer Program: LUCIANO BERIO, Sequenza V for solo trombone EDGARD VARÈSE, Déserts ALEXANDER SCRIABIN, Prometheus: The Poem of Fire

La bohème at Lyric Opera of Kansas City

Presented by Lyric Opera of Kansas City at Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts Kansas City, MO

Love burns bright in Puccini’s poignant portrait of friendship and romance among a charming group of impoverished bohemians in nineteenth-century France. The opera that inspired Rent, La bohème is beloved for its soaring melodies, including the famed “Musetta’s Waltz” and “O soave fanciulla,” and bittersweet romance—all held afloat by the infectious spirit of its central artists, who face life’s challenges with humor, resilience, and poetry. La bohème is the perfect opportunity for first-timers to experience the magic of opera, and for seasoned operagoers to enjoy some of the most beautiful music ever written. Tickets are on sale now, or experience all four shows this season for 20% off the individual ticket price by becoming a Lyric Opera subscriber.

Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian With Special Guest Rosie Flores

Presented by Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts at Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts Kansas City, MO

The group members were drawn together by a shared love of roots music both vintage and modern — of blues, folk, gospel, country and those tantalizing sounds that lay in between. Like Plant, they’re keen to explore how these genres are evolving as well as to discover where these repertoires originated — and how collectively they could reinvigorate the music they loved. “It’s been a revelation, the sweetness of this thing,” said Plant. “These are really sweet people. They’re playing all the stuff they could never get out before. They’ve become unique stylists and have created a new place for the old dog.” Rosie Flores has pioneered a path in male-dominated rock and country scenes into powerful songs she wrote, sang and performed as a respected lead guitarist. A daughter of San Antonio, this multi-award winning artist has adroitly absorbed and helped preserve the musical legacies of influential Texas musicians as varied as country music’s King of Western Swing Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, blues guitar master T-Bone Walker, and Tex Mex innovator Doug Sahm. She is spotlighted in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s exhibition “Western Edge: The Roots & Reverberations of Los Angeles Country-Rock” in Nashville.
